Maybe, but North of the Border some folk were known to pass a piece of moss
round visiting school classes at the Whithorn Dig, and only *after* they'd
all handled it did we tell them that it was used Viking loo-roll, recovered
from a pit, and that you could see the fruit pits in it !  :o)

aaah, the joys of interactive archaeology.
